Handle With Care

Handle With Care

By Louisa Reid

Genre:-YA

Publisher:-Guppy Books

Blurbs:-A stunningly powerful YA novel from a master storyteller told in both prose and verse.

 No one knows Ruby is pregnant-not even Ruby herself. So when she gives birth at school on a miserable February morning, her world is thrown into chaos. Keeping the baby isn't an option, but keeping quiet about who the father of the child definitely is; because if Ruby's best friend Ashley finds out the truth, then she'll lose her too.

 When Ruby finally realises what she and her baby need, somehow that doesn't seem to matter any more. So Ruby must take matters into her own hands, with tragic consequences...

My Review:-Ruby is a sixteen-year-old school girl. During a History lesson with her best friend Ashley, her whole life changed in the matter of minutes. Unexpectedly Ruby gives birth to a baby, she didn't even know she was pregnant. With help from Ashley and Ashley's mam, Ruby has a lot to think about, both mentally and physically. All this while keeping the identity of the baby's dad a secret from everyone.

 The story is told through Ruby and her best friend Ashley. This is a beautifully wrote story, filled with emotions and very raw at times. Teenage pregnancy is something that isn't talked about much as it should be. Many have a negative view before even knowing everything about it. I have seen and been through this with my family and seen how people judge so quickly. This would be a great book for schools, to read both as a class as well as at home.
